"Death to Russia," the protesters chant in the video above, countering the pro-government slogans of "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" on Thursday during the 22 Bahman.

In the video after the jump below, a group of people are chanting in support of Mir Hossein Mousavi, the opposition leader, in Tehran's subway.

In the video below, opposition supporters are seen marching down a street shouting "Ya Hussein, Mir Hossein." Some of their have covered their faces with surgical masks to hide their identity from the security forces.
